While food is hard for people living in third-world countries to come by, it's even more difficult for homeless dogs. These sweet creatures are forced to search for food anywhere they can find it and scavenge for scraps in the garbage! So when this female dog received a generous offering of meat from a stranger, she ran off right away. Following his instinct, the cameraman pursued the dog and was shocked by what he saw...

The cameraman follows closely behind this determined female dog and watches in awe as she places the meat stick on the ground. In an instant, all of her tiny puppies rush into the sunlight and start to chow down on the one piece of meat! This was the last thing the cameraman was expecting and the sight of all of the puppies took him aback. It was incredible to see a mother sacrifice her own meal for the betterment of her offspring.

A mother's nurturing nature crosses over every species. This is especially true for dogs, who are natural pack animals. Whatever is good for the pack, is good for the individual. So when Mom gets a scrap of food, her first thought is to run back to her little ones and let them eat first! She knows the pups need all of the nutrients they can get and she can go without food longer than they can! Take a peek at this incredible moment for yourself by pressing "play" on the video below. Hopefully all of the puppies made it to adulthood and into safe, loving homes!
